3 1. Introduction Throughout the course of your studies, you will be expected to support the arguments made in your assignments, through references to other published works. These references can come from many different sources such as academic journals, textbooks, newspaper articles, websites etc. Citation is the technical term given to the practice of referring to the work of other authors. It allows you to give due credit to the ideas of others, whilst also providing evidence of the breadth and depth of your own background reading. It also allows those who read your work, to easily identify and locate the references you have provided. This guide provides you with examples of how to correctly cite references within the text of your assignments. It also provides guidance on how to compile an accurate list of references / bibliography. The guide uses the Harvard system of referencing system throughout. The Harvard system does allow for some variations in style (e.g. In your list of references, the title of a book can be italicized or underlined), but you must remain consistent throughout your document. APA referencing is very similar to Harvard and is sometimes considered a Harvard variation. The following guidelines are based upon the conventions provided in Cite Them Right by Pears and Shields, a popular citation guide (see page 16 for further details). You should however check with your supervisor that this method of citation is accepted within your School. Subjects such as Law may have additional specific recommendations. Avoiding plagiarism Good citation practices are essential in order to avoid any potential charges of plagiarism. The University of Manchester defines plagiarism as presenting the ideas, work or words of other people without proper, clear and unambiguous acknowledgement. Plagiarism is considered academic malpractice and as such is treated very seriously by the university. Further details on Avoiding Plagiarism are available from the Faculty of Humanities Study Skills website: 3
4 2. Citing references within the text Citations which you provide in the main body of your writing should only provide brief details of the work you are referring to. These short in-text citations will then link to a fully detailed reference, which will be included in your list of references / bibliography (See section 3 for details on this). You should also check with the person assessing your work whether in-text citations need to be included in your final word count. The way in which you refer to a source within the text of your work will depend upon a number of factors. These include the nature of the sentence/ paragraph being written and the nature / number of authors of the source. Generally however, your citations should follow this format: Author or editor s surname, Year of publication, Page numbers (if required): See page 6 for further information on when to include page numbers. Direct citation: If the author s name forms a natural part of your sentence, then the surname should be followed by the year of publication (within parentheses). Boatright (2006) argues that there are six questions that need consideration, before making a decision on whether to blow the whistle in a case. In-direct citation: If you do not mention the author s name within your text, then you should place the author s name and year of publication, in parentheses, at the end of the sentence. There are six distinctive conditions, which need to be satisfied, in order for a whistle-blowing case to be justified (Boatright, 2006). Two or Three authors: All authors (with publication date) should be noted within your text: Hirst and Thompson (1999) identify enormous variations between countries in terms of the importance of foreign holdings. Gobi s investment revenues doubled in 2007 (Lerner, Hardymon and Leamon, 2009). Multiple authors: When there are more than three authors only provide the first author s name, followed by the Latin term et al. (and all) in italics, and the year of publication in parentheses. Kotler et al. (2005) argue that business markets are very similar to consumer markets. There are a number of similarities between the business and consumer market sectors (Kotler et al., 2005). Authors of different titles: Cite both names, and follow name with the year of publication in parentheses, or cite both names at the end of the sentence, with author s name, followed by date of publication, and separated by a semi-colon in parentheses. Hollensen (2004) and Palmer (2008) are in agreement about the importance of service led marketing. Service led marketing should form an important part of an organisation s overall marketing strategy (Hollensen, 2004; Palmer, 2008). 4
5 Several works by a single author (Different years): If more than one publication by a particular author illustrates your point, and these are published in different years, then you should cite the references in chronological order. Handy (1999, 2001) argues that Organizational behaviour cannot easily be predicted (Handy 1999, 2001). Several works by a single author (Same year): When the same author has published more than one cited document within the same year, use lower case letters to differentiate each document. Mintzberg (1973a) took a new approach to the concept of leadership, then speculated further on the eight principles which make up an effective leader (Mintzberg, 1973b). If you wish to refer to the works on a single occasion, or if the same point is made by both publications, then refer to both within parentheses. Mintzberg (1973a, 1973b) summarised eight current schools of thought on the different roles of the manager. Author of a chapter within an edited text If the author s work appears as a chapter within part of a larger work that is edited by somebody else (quite common with academic textbooks), use the author of the chapter for the citation within your text. You will however, need to provide the full bibliographic details in your list of references (See section 3 for further details). Lane (1996) argues that there are distinctive national patterns in the organisation of firms and inter-firm relations. Corporate authors If the work is by a recognised organisation, and has no personal author, then use the organisation s name for the citation. It has been suggested that the proposed grocery market reforms might have a detrimental effect on competition within the industry (British Retail Consortium, 2008). N.B. It is acceptable to use standard abbreviations for associations, companies, institutions, within your text, providing that the full name is given at the first citation with the abbreviation in parentheses. Citation 1: (Manchester Business School [MBS], 2008). Citation 2: (MBS, 2008). No author If you cannot identify the author of a document (quite common with online sources) then you should provide the title of the document (in italics), and the date of publication. (Marketing strategy, 2001) No date The phrase no date should be used if you cannot identify a date of publication. Cosgrove (no date) states that total sales measures are often used to assess overall trends within the retail sector Total sales measure is used to assess market level trends in retail sales (Cosgrove, no date.) 5
6 Page Numbers: If you are quoting directly or using ideas from a specific page or pages of a work, you must also include the page number(s) within your citation. Insert the abbreviation p. or pp. (for multiple pages) before the page number(s): Chaffey (2011, p. 30) provides a useful definition of E-government There are four major causes of inequality within the globalized system (Scholte, 2005, pp ). Setting out quotations Any quotations used should be relevant to the argument you are making. Short quotations (1-2 lines) can be set in quotation marks and included within the body of the text: Chaffey (2011, p. 79) concludes that the high burn-rate facing Boo.com was due to an imbalance between promotion and site development costs and revenues. Longer quotations need to entered as a separate paragraph and indented from the main text. You do not need to use quotation marks. Chaffey describes how it can be difficult to assess the success of e-businesses: Internet pureplay companies are often perceived as dynamic and successful owing to the rapid increase in visitors to sites, or sales, or due to initial valuations on stock markets. In reality, it is difficult to assess the success of these companies since despite positive indications in terms of sales or audience, the companies have often not been profitable. Consider the three major social networks: Bebo, Facebook or MySpace none of these was profitable at the time of writing. (Chaffey, 2011, p. 79) Making changes to quotations To omit part of a quotation use an ellipsis: Consider the three major social networks none of these was profitable at the time of writing Chaffey, 2011, p. 79) You can insert your own words into the quotation by putting them in square brackets: [] Jones (2007, p. 16) notes that in these areas the larger [tobacco] companies often act the most irresponsibly If the original quotation contains errors (e.g. a spelling mistake) don not correct it. Instead point out the errors by writing [sic] Williams (2008, p. 86) noted that Johnson maid [sic] a mistake. 6
7 Citing secondary sources If you have read about a particular author s work, but have been unable to consult the actual work (the primary source) directly, then you need to acknowledge this. This is known as secondary referencing. Use the phrase cited in and give the page number on which the source cites this information: Kristensen (1996, p. 73) citing Sabel s views on Japanese subcontractors (1993), supports the view that It can be argued that the organizing abilities of the manufacturing concern in Japan, have succeeded in creating a hierarchy of careers among their subcontractors (Sabel, 1993, cited in Kristensen, 1996, p. 73). 7
8 Author Year of publication Title of chapter / article Title of publication Issue / Volume / part number Place of publication Publisher Edition Page Number(s) URL Date Accessed 3. Creating the list of references and bibliography Introduction Your list of references links with your in-text citations and enables readers to easily trace the sources cited within your work. It is a list of the documents from which any direct quotations, or examples have been taken. N.B. A bibliography (where you give credit to sources that were used for background reading, but were not quoted within the body of the text), is not usually required. You should however always check this first, with the person who will be assessing your work Your list of references (and bibliography if you choose to provide one) should be arranged alphabetically by author and then, where necessary, by year of publication. Different types of publication require different amounts of information. The Harvard system lays down standards for the amount of information required for each document type. These are detailed in the following section. Alternatively for quick reference you can use the check-list below which details what to include for frequently used academic information sources: Book Book chapter E-book Journal Article E- journal article Website Database 8
